Abstract
According to one or more embodiments, a preferential treatment information management device includes a storage device and a processor. The storage device stores preferential treatment information provided to a consumer terminal. The preferential treatment information includes a period of use during which a store visit is being promoted. The processor acquires a number of store-entering people of a current day that falls within the period of use of the preferential treatment information. The processor update the preferential treatment information according to the acquired number of store-entering people of the current day for further promotion of the store visit.
Claims20
A preferential treatment information management device, comprising:
- a storage device storing preferential treatment information previously provided to a consumer terminal, the preferential information including a period of use during which a visit to a store is being promoted, a predicted store crowding level for the period of use, and a coupon set based on the predicted store crowding level;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- acquire the number of people entering the store on a current day that falls within the period of use;
- and
- update the coupon in the stored preferential treatment information according to the acquired number of people entering the store.
A preferential treatment information management device, comprising:
- a storage device configured to store:
- a coupon database for coupon data of coupons to be included in preferential treatment information, the coupon data including a designated time period during which the coupon can be used at a target store and a predicted crowding level for the store during the designated time period;
- a prediction table including a plurality of crowding levels associated with discount rates;
- and
- a current-day table including a plurality of current-day crowding levels associated with discount rates;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- issue the coupon data to a consumer terminal before the designated time period, the coupon data including a first discount rate from the prediction table;
- acquire the number of people entering the target store on a current day that falls within the designated time period;
- retrieve a second discount rate from the current-day table based on the acquired number of store-entering people;
- and
- update the issued coupon data to include the second discount rate.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing therein a program which, when executed, causes a computer to perform preferential treatment information managing processing comprising:
- storing preferential treatment information previously provided to a consumer terminal, the preferential information including a period of use during which a visit to a store is being promoted, a predicted store crowding level for the period of use, and a coupon set based on the predicted store crowding level;
- acquiring the number of people entering the store on a current day if the current day is within the period of use;
- and
- updating the coupon in the preferential treatment information stored in the storage device according to the acquired number of people entering the store.
